Flowing with intention.

Working some saggital plane dominate flows.

Set your foundations first and then build from them.

Nothing to see here.

Finally snatched the 100lb Kettlebell overhead, 3 times per side.

Need to clean up the left arm. Definitely feeling those today. It’s good to move some big loads overhead and challenge your limits of strength and technique.

Hunchback Posture Part 1 Strengthening the Neck

Hunchback Posture Part 1

Strengthening the Neck

This is part 1 of a 3 part series on how to offset some of the effects of the desk jockey posture we see in the overly sedentary populous. This posture is a direct product of dyskinesia across the kinetic chain and it contributes to everything from headaches to low back pain to hyperventilation.

The answer isn’t just one thing and not everything will work for every person. Neurology is funny like that. Instead, Im going to focus on a few drills you can do at home. As with anything, if any of these cause pain, it’s time to get a professional involved.

Part 1’s focus will be on realigning and strengthening the neck. The go to for most fitness professionals is right to pulling exercises for the upper body when they see this, but that’s an incomplete program. We have to be aware that there is supporting musculature in the neck that needs to be strengthened as well. Simple drills like lift offs and isometrics go a long way toward strengthening the various musculature responsible for keeping the head erect and strong.

If you don’t have an @theironneck and have any neck weakness, I highly recommend getting one and using it daily.

Really enjoying this new attachment. Already seeing some cool possibilities for multidirectional strength work.

Flow with intention.

Slide 1 is the whole flow with change of direction and hands.

Slide 2 is the first part of the flow to learn.

Slide 3 is the second part of the flow to learn.

Movement Flowing with the steel mace reminds me of my forms from my early days in martial arts.

Doing these flows are great for joint mobility, work well as warmups or finishers, and help build better proprioception (awareness of your body in space).

Move well, move often, and move strong! Above all, just move!!

What does “unconventional” upper body training

What does “unconventional” upper body training look like?

For my “push” dominate workout it was a heavy banded Swiss bar press, cable split hip chest fly and single arm chop with iso hold.

Each movement designed to optimize more then just the chest/shoulder musculature but incorporate core tension, maximal stability, rotation, and velocity.

Not pictured was some heavy steel mace work to finish things off.

I’m currently strength training three times a week and doing aerobic activity three days a week and loving the split. On my strength training days I try to get as much bang for my buck as possible on my movements. For most of us, we don’t have unlimited time in the gym so it’s possible (with the right program) to incorporate more than just base flexion and extension in our workouts, optimizing our function as human beings and getting stronger.

Developing with strength and stability connected!

Developing with strength and stability connected! Critical to be strong and stabile simultaneously. I love single leg and single arm work but important to demonstrate that strength in a variety of environments.

Unilateral Cable and Rip work.
A1. Isometric Lunge and Dual Cable Row (focusing on keeping the traps out of the movement and staying out of spinal extension).
A2. Offset Cable Chest Press (watch the adjustment of the left hip that was compensating by externally rotating. Felt it. Adjusted it.)
A3. Rip Rotational Posterior Lunge (solved the rip the anchor out of the wall problem @peteholman1. Just used an XHeavy band).
Repeat on the other side.
3 rounds.
8 reps per movement.

Full Range of Motion Strength + stability=Durability and Mobility.

Dynamic and Static postures.

These two drills finished off our “exit ticket” block Monday. Learning to be explosive laterally, using the stretch shortening cycle to maximize change of direction then completing the TRX Ward to work anti rotation elements and stability. Both take big advantage of glute medius. Stronger and faster builds from a strong, mobile base and core.

These guys will be ready for whatever their next season throws at them. Couldn’t be prouder of how hard they work.

Glutes working in the saggital and transverse plan

Glutes working in the saggital and transverse plane, foot and ankle stability along with barefoot stimulation and front line activation thru that hover leg. Checking a lot of boxes with one movement. This is why we use @stickmobility for most of our warm ups. Check the boxes. Get to work.

Getting down to the end of Kettlebell Origins and

Getting down to the end of Kettlebell Origins and today I did some contrast work based on load and tempo. I used a 100lb and 70lb kettlebell for all my movements. You can see I’m attempting to move a little slower with the larger bell in the hinge movements and create as much force as possible while, with the “lighter” bell I’m trying to move aa fast as possible in the hinge movements without any form breakdown. Being connected to the ground is key and shoutout to vivo for awesome shoes that keep me connected.

Added in some rotation on the controlled sprawl, a resistance band in the side plank and some single arm carries at the end for an awesome workout to kick off the day.
